"KID BOOTS."

It is doubtful if at any time the firm of J. C. Williamson, Ltd., has offered 80 striking and complete a musical attraction as is promised in the coming "Kid Boots" season, which opens at the Opera House on Wednesday week. Headed by Miss Josie Melville, the papular Australian comedienne, who will be warmly remembered for her performance of ly," the company is composed of the very best musical comedy talent in the Southern Hemisphere. Such names as Josie Melville, George Gee, Gaston Mervale, Paul Plunkett, Field Fisher, Gladys Hermes, Adele Cwane, Nellie Hutton, should command success in any musical entertainment. They are all established favourites. The newcomers are George Vollairo,. an eminent English baritone; George Crotty, a comedian of London dis. tinctio'n; Jean Newcombe, a prominent English comedienne; and Princess Wahne Shuska, a famous dancer. "Kid Boots" is sajd to be easily the most expensive musical comedy production yet presented by the Big Firm, the costumes alone having cost over £5000. Especially good is the music of "Kid Boots, magnificent are the scenic effects, piquant are the ballets, romantic is the story, and incomparable the cast. "Kid Boots" will be played for the first nights and will be followed by another brilliant musical play, "Good Morning, Dearie," also new to Wellington. The.box plans for "Kid Boots" will be opened at The Bristol next Monday.
